Flying saucer projector

Okay, so it doesn’t actually fly, but it sure looks like a flying saucer, don’t you think? It even has little fold-out landing legs! (Actually, I think maybe it was separated at birth from this thing from Star Wars. Or maybe one of those robots from WALL-E? But I digress.) This is in reality the OO wireless projector as imagined by designer David Riesenberg. The idea is that it’s the ultimate in projection simplicity, thanks to its sleek, circle-shaped design and its super-portability. It’s powered by an internal Li-Ion battery, allowing it to project for up to 3 hours straight, though it also has a built-in power cord.

Light Touch: Project a touch screen onto any flat surface

We’ve seen gadgets that can project a keyboard onto a desk and allow users to type on it, but this idea from Light Blue Optics will create an entire touchscreen on any flat surface.

It uses holographic laser projection technology to create a WVGA image even at very short distances, yet the laser is actually safe enough that no damage is done if someone accidentally looks into it.

I’ve just been sent this great video which shows the Extreme Gamer strapping on a PS3 Slim and an Epson EH-TW450 high definition video projector and then taking to the night streets to play Need for Speed. You’d have to be pretty strong to do this, as not only do you have the weight of the hardware but also need a power pack. This definitely works best at night (and presumably not when it’s raining!) because, bright though the projected image may be, it’s not going to look quite so good during the day. The projector can display an image up to 318 inches (that’s 26.5 foot) diagonally. Pretty impressive Read more »

Benq Offers Black Friday Discount for the GP1

Earlier in the year, we posted about the Benq GP1, an ultraportable LED projector which came out in the market this June. I actually have this projector (thanks to Benq), and I must say I’ve found it very useful when going to clients’ offices for presentations. It’s lightweight, quite bright, and simple enough to use. It’s also a great addition to my home theater system. Benq has recently tipped Forever Geek that it has lowered the price of the normally $499 Benq GP1 to $399. You can purchase the projector from the Benq online store. Use promo code earlyblkfriday to avail of the discount. The Benq GP1 features a 100 Read more »
